Description
Beatrice Basler is a character who appears as a temporary antagonist. Her background reveals her to be a vampire who is a descendant of the third true ancestor, also known as the Chaos Princess. She is an employee of the large manufacturing corporation Magus Craft, where she officially works in the research department and serves as a secretary to the scientist Kensei Kanase. Despite this official role, her true function is that of an agent who carries out the company's more clandestine and dirty work.
In terms of appearance, Beatrice presents two distinct looks that align with her dual roles. When acting in her official capacity as a secretary, she wears a wine-red or maroon suit, styles her blonde hair up, and dons glasses. In contrast, when she engages in combat or carries out illicit operations, her appearance changes dramatically. In this mode, she lets her long blonde hair flow freely and wears a form-fitting, deep pink or magenta bodysuit paired with black high-heeled boots. She has light purple eyes.
Beatrice’s personality is defined by a cruel, callous, and arrogant nature. She is prone to underestimating her opponents while overestimating her own combat prowess, a flaw that becomes apparent as her fighting style relies heavily on her powerful familiar rather than her own physical skills. She is known for using vulgar and insulting language towards her enemies, and she exhibits a cowardly streak when a confrontation turns against her. A particular source of frustration for her is being bested in hand-to-hand combat by the younger and shorter Yukina Himeragi.
Her motivations within the story are tied to her role in a scheme to create artificial angels. She works alongside a colleague named Lodu Xiao to further this goal. Beatrice is driven by a desire to carry out this plan, which includes the brutal objective of capturing and performing a bloody modification on the princess La Folia Rihavein. Her actions demonstrate a willingness to betray her employer, as she eventually initiates her own plot to create more artificial angels behind Kensei Kanase's back.
In the narrative, Beatrice first appears while attacking a naval ship from the Kingdom of Aldegiar. Later, she deceives the protagonist Kojou Akatsuki and his companions by disguising herself as a harmless secretary to lure them into a trap. She serves as the primary combatant for her faction, engaging in several fights with the main heroine, Yukina Himeragi. While she initially overpowers Yukina with her long-range attacks, her lack of close-quarters combat skill ultimately leads to her defeat when Yukina lands a decisive blow.
Her key relationships include her partnership with Lodu Xiao, who affectionately calls her by the nickname BB, which are the initials of her first and last name. She also serves as a subordinate to Kensei Kanase, though she proves to be disloyal to him. Her primary antagonistic relationships are with Yukina Himeragi, whom she fights multiple times, and with La Folia, who is the target of her cruel plans and ultimately her downfall.
The character’s development is brief, as she serves as a relatively short-lived antagonist. Her arc follows a trajectory from a confident and powerful-seeming villain to a desperate and broken one. After her initial defeat by Yukina, she becomes enraged and mentally unstable, leading to a final, reckless attack on La Folia. This desperate act leads directly to her end. Her fate differs between adaptations. In the anime, she is clearly slain by La Folia using a pseudo-holy sword. In the original light novel, the outcome is more ambiguous; she is left with critical, life-threatening injuries, but it is noted that La Folia held back, leaving it unclear if she ultimately survives.
Beatrice’s notable ability is her control of a single, powerful familiar or beast vassal named Jagra, which is also known as Snake Crimson. This familiar takes the form of a long spear or lance that has a mind of its own. When activated, the spearhead can act like a whip or a tentacle, allowing Beatrice to perform long-range and multi-directional attacks against her enemies. Her entire combat style is defined by this familiar, as she relies on it for offensive power and is notably weak in direct physical combat.
